MSc Systems Engineering Management

The MSc Systems Engineering Management programme teaches the complicated management needs of systems engineering projects, combining engineering principles with more developed business and management skills. The course teaches graduates the skills to apply a systems thinking approach when handling complex technical systems by considering technical, human, and organisational factors.

The course focuses on engineered systems, but students will gain other valuable skills that apply to complex systems. Through compulsory and optional modules, students will gain special skills for managing systems engineering projects, including systems decomposition and integration, complexity management, lifecycle management, and verification and validation. Students will participate in group projects with industry clients and a final dissertation.
